The CPM has stepped up pressure on municipal authorities to address the acute water shortage plaguing the 22nd ward of GVMC, demanding that civic officials ensure consistent daily water supply to all residents in the area. Party representatives have cited repeated complaints from households struggling with irregular water distribution and have questioned the municipality's capacity to meet basic service obligations.
Residents of the ward have reportedly faced significant hardship due to sporadic water supply, with many depending on alternative sources or expensive tanker services to meet their daily needs. The party has argued that the municipality's failure to provide this fundamental service represents a dereliction of duty by elected officials and administrative staff.
The demand comes as GVMC continues grappling with infrastructure challenges across multiple wards. The CPM has called for an immediate assessment of water distribution networks in the 22nd ward and a concrete timeline for implementing regular supply mechanisms. Officials have not yet responded to the latest demands from the party.
